But she’s forced to sail across them with the help of pirate captain Arn to find something to heal her sickness. Emme’s mother was one of the most feared pirates on the seas, and she loved the waters more than she loved her children.

June to September are the coldest months which means no scorching heat during the day though night temperatures can be quite chilly even in the south of the country. The rainy season is a great time for birdwatching in Etosha. We did see a lot of deer and birds but that’s pretty much it. It was extremely muddy and the entire dried pan turned into one big lake. We visited Etosha in February and it was a total disaster.

What these editors and literary agents wanted was a “realistic” female protagonist that fell somewhere between Lara Croft Tomb Raider and Anastasia Steele, victimized pansy.įunny, in my years as a reporter investigating everything from mobsters to mayhem and natural disasters to political ones, I’d never actually run across a beauty queen/karate expert/masochistic love slave/reporter. Shockingly these old school, sexist and disturbing comments were not made decades ago before people knew better, but in 2011-12. Those were just some of the critiques I got from book editors and agents-many of them women-to whom I’d submitted the manuscript for my first novel, The Sixth Station. Why does she eat so much?

Credited as The Beat Brothers, John, Paul, George and Pete Best backed the English singer Tony Sheridan on a rocked-up version of “My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean,” which was released on Polydor in West Germany. The group had actually recorded a single even before signing with Parlophone. ![]() With pop music still primarily a singles market in the mid-60s, The Beatles’ singles, then, offer something of a parallel discography: a different lens through which to trace their artistic trajectory. The Beatles may have helped shift the focus from singles to long-playing albums, but at the start of their career they were, first and foremost, a band that made phenomenal singles, many of which didn’t actually appear on their albums. When we look back at The Beatles’ career, it’s only natural that we trace their progress through the groundbreaking albums they made between 19. ![]() ![]() Batali, a pony-tailed tornado of a man who merits the adjective "Falstafian," agrees. Buford, at the time The New Yorker's fiction editor, persuaded celebrity chef Mario Batali to take him on as free help - a kitchen slave. The book's conceit is that it's a behind-the-scenes account of the kitchen of a big-city restaurant. But where the first book was a case study of people seemingly dead to the joys of life, Heat is a chronicle of artisans consumed by passion. And Italy, once again, figures as the staging ground of momentous events. It's interesting to see, then, that Buford's new book, Heat, returns him to the sweaty, boozy fold of pasty, beefy and slightly deranged young men. These British thugs eventually head off to Turin for a match, and the rampaging that ensues becomes the book's vivid centerpiece. It was an engrossing piece of reportage in which Buford, an American expat living in England, trailed a group of pasty, beefy and somewhat deranged soccer hooligans. ![]() More than 15 years ago, Bill Buford's first book, Among the Thugs was published. ![]() ![]() And the series continues all summer long on NPR.org.
